總理納倫德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi

新德里，3月16日，總理納倫德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）週日說，科學與靈性之間存在著深厚的聯繫，因為他深情地記得斯里尼瓦薩·拉馬努揚（Srinivasa Ramanujan），被認為是有史以來最偉大的數學家之一。

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said there’s a deep connection between science and spirituality, as he fondly remembered Srinivasa Ramanujan, considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

總理納倫德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）週日表示，科學與靈性之間存在著深厚的聯繫，因為他深情地想起了斯里尼瓦薩·拉馬努揚（Srinivasa Ramanujan），被認為是有史以來最偉大的數學家之一。

When American podcaster Lex Fridman, an engineer who loves mathematics, asked the Prime Minister about Ramanujan and what is so inspiring about him, PM Modi said he "deeply respects him".

熱愛數學的工程師American Podcaster Lex Fridman向總理詢問Ramanujan，以及對他的鼓舞人心的事情時，PM Modi說，他“非常尊重他”。

"Everyone in my country respects him as well, because I strongly believe there’s a deep connection between science and spirituality. If you closely observe many scientifically advanced minds, you’ll find they’re often spiritually advanced too," said PM Modi.

PM Modi說：“我國家的每個人也都尊重他，因為我堅信科學與靈性之間存在著深厚的聯繫。如果您仔細觀察許多科學先進的思想，您會發現它們通常在精神上也是先進的。”

They’re not disconnected from spirituality. Ramanujan once said that his mathematical ideas came from the goddess he worshipped, meaning ideas emerge from spiritual discipline, and discipline is more than just hard work.

他們沒有與靈性脫節。拉瑪努揚曾說過，他的數學思想來自他崇拜的女神，這意味著從精神紀律中出現的想法，而紀律不僅僅是艱苦的工作。

"It means fully devoting yourself to a task and completely immersing yourself into it so much that you become one with your work," said the Prime Minister.

總理說：“這意味著要充分奉獻自己的任務，並完全沉浸在工作中，以至於您與自己的工作成為一項任務。”

According to PM Modi, the more open we are to new and different sources of knowledge, the more new ideas we’ll have.

根據PM Modi的說法，我們對知識的新來源越開放，我們將擁有的新想法就越多。

"I think it’s important for us to clearly understand the difference between information and knowledge. Some people mistakenly confuse information with knowledge, carrying around large amounts of information, but I don’t believe information alone equals knowledge," the PM asserted.

PM斷言：“對我們來說，清楚地了解信息和知識之間的差異很重要。有些人錯誤地將信息與知識混淆，攜帶大量信息，但我不相信信息單獨的信息等於知識。”

"Knowledge is something deeper. It gradually evolves through processing, reflection and understanding. Recognising this difference is important in how we handle both," he added.

他補充說：“知識更深入。它通過處理，反思和理解逐漸發展。認識到這種差異在我們處理兩者的方式中很重要。”

The National Mathematics Day is celebrated every year on December 22 to honour the memory of mathematical genius Ramanujan.

每年12月22日慶祝國家數學日，以紀念數學天才Ramanujan。

Ramanujan was born in Tamil Nadu’s Erode district on December 22, 1887.

Ramanujan於1887年12月22日出生於泰米爾納德邦的Erode區。

He was one of the youngest members of Britain's Royal Society and the first Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge University.

他是英國皇家學會中最年輕的成員之一，也是第一個當選劍橋大學三一學院院士的印度人。

His contribution to mathematical analysis, infinite series, continued fractions and number theory was immense. Ramanujan is most popular for his contribution to the analytical theory of numbers, elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series.

他對數學分析的貢獻，無限的系列，持續的分數和數量理論是巨大的。 Ramanujan對他對數字，橢圓函數，持續分數和無限序列的分析理論的貢獻最受歡迎。
